Demi Bennett, aka Rhea Ripley, is an extremely popular name in the world of pro wrestling. She is currently a part of WWE, and within the promotion, she is a member of ‘The Judgment Day’ stable. In addition to that, she is also the Women’s World Champion in the Stamford-based promotion.
With that, Rhea Ripley has gained a lot of popularity among fans. The supporters of Ripley are always super excited to know more about her and her personal life. In that context, it is to be noted that Ripley has been engaged to fellow pro wrestler Matthew Adams, aka Buddy Matthews.
However, fans might not know who Ripley dated before Matthews. It was an Independent wrestler named Demetri Jackson. Previously, ‘Mami’ and Jackson met each other at a gym in 2019. Following that, their relationship flourished, and they began dating and living together.
It is mentionable that, before becoming a wrestler, Jackson earned his master’s degree in Sports and Exercise Science. He was also a competitive weightlifter; however, he later chose a career in wrestling. Meanwhile, the relationship between Ripley and Jackson was going quite smoothly. But, after dating for a few years, the couple broke up.
With that, fans of the WWE Superstar often wondered why she broke up with Jackson. Unfortunately, there’s no information available on the matter, and both Rhea and Demetri have kept the reason for their breakup private to themselves. However, it remains to be seen if they will open up about it in the upcoming days.
Rhea Ripley previously talked about her ex-boyfriend
The reason for the breakup between Rhea Ripley and her ex-boyfriend Demetri Jackson is yet to be disclosed. However, previously, during their relationship, The Judgment Day member shared details about her boyfriend.
The Women’s World Champion previously appeared for an interview with Chasing Glory. During that, she said, “Kevin he goes by Demetri, he’s only been wrestling for, I want to say a year-and-a-half – two years, so that’s not very long. He’s still pretty green and still has a lot to learn, but he learns super fast”.
Ripley added that she was trying to help Jackson “along the way“. She then stated that she would always be there for him because she wanted him to succeed. However, Rhea mentioned that Demetri didn’t want too much of her help because he wanted to “succeed on his own“.
The Eradicator then said, “He doesn’t want me to give him anything, which I appreciate”. Thus, it seems that previously, when Ripley and Demetri dated each other, she spoke very highly of him. However, things didn’t work out along the way, and the couple split up.
Meanwhile, it has not been revealed if Ripley is still in touch with her ex-boyfriend or not. It has also been kept secret if Demetri Jackson is seeing someone else or not. However, Rhea, on the other hand, is currently leading a happy life with her partner, Buddy Matthews. With that, fans will look forward to more updates on their favorite superstar’s personal life.
